Small park with a nice pool with a sliding board and hot tub. Game room has video games, ping pong, air hockey There was bingo one night and various activities at different times. It was quiet, peaceful and the owners were especially helpful. Our awning had water and was sagging while we were away. They closed our awning for us but contacted us first to get our ok. We had to extend our stay because of a medical emergency and the owners were so kind, allowing us to stay at our site as long as needed. Loved staying here. - Diane668

Older established park with several seasonal campers on site. All residents were quiet and kept to themselves. Owners are very accommodating and will advise about camp ground and surrounding area if needed. Stayed in a pull thru site. Had no problems maneuvering 42" 5th wheel inside park. Bathrooms behind office were always clean. Owners on property during business hours and always working on something in the park. Nice play area for our daughter and a spot to run the dog if needed. Close to Atlantic City and surrounding destinations. Right beside Air strip, but not a problem as it was not a major airport. National guard jets and military aircraft occasionally. Nothing at night that I can recall. Would stay again if in the area. - On the way

I have to judge a campground within the context of its cost. In this case the cost is high given the facilities. Of course, I don't have visibility to the costs faced by the owners such as property tax, etc. I can only judge based upon my experience with other campgrounds.

This park has some nice facilities with a pool, nice bathrooms and laundry and workable WiFi. However, there are seasonal sites that are junky and some of the facilities are not being well maintained. The electric and water hookups on my site were leaning and not well supported. The site pad was gravel surrounded by dirt but it did have a concrete patio and picnic table. The driveways are gravel and in relatively good condition.

This park is adjacent to the Atlantic City Airport but this didn't present any problem. All of the activity there took place during the day. We had a 30amp electric full hook up site including cable. The nightly rate is $52 for this site. We paid $46.80 based upon a weekly rate. - Coopsecondact

We stayed here 1 night after we visited Atlantic City. This is more of a permanent RV community than a campground. We moved from our assigned campsite because our neighbor had pitched a tent right next to our sewer hook up. The sites are red gravel, and very level. They are close together, but at the time we were there, most of the ones set aside for short-termers were empty. - ShoreXplorers

This campground has both Good Sam and Passport America. It is not a fancy campground, but they have the friendliest caretaker and staff here, and the sites are clean and well kept, and the price cannot be beat. Each site has a fire ring, a picnic table and the sites are fairly level red stone with pavement pathways. We did have to put wood blocks under the back tires to get completely level. There are tall trees around, but we got a space where we could get our Dish signal with no problem. The caretaker put us in 2 back-ins that joined together to make one large pull-through. It was long enough that we could park our Jeep in front or behind. There is free WiFi with a code from TengoInternet, although we did have problems with the Internet being quite slow. The washrooms, showers and laundry rooms are old, but kept immaculately clean. It is so quiet in this park that other than a small bit on noise from the road outside the campground, and an occasional plane, the most noise we ever heard was from the acorns dropping on the roofs of the motorhomes and pavement. The campground is close to all the stores we needed, and very close to Atlantic City, the casinos and boardwalk there. We loved this park so much and we will come back here next time we are out this way. This is mainly due to the excellent staff who went out of their way to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. - Heysuse

We stayed here for 6 nights using a $99/wk coupon we'd obtained from The Tampa RV show. The park is mostly permanent cabins/homes/trailers, etc. Half of them are in nice condition but there are some really dilapidated ones. The pool was in the process of a minor renovation so we couldn't use it. The laundry room is small but reasonable ($1.25) and the equipment is relatively new. I did have to re-wash two loads because they never spun dry though. The clubhouse is cozy. The only activity was Bingo and we showed up but no one else did. Turns out it was canceled because of the rain (???). There are a lot of nearby services. - daviescj

I stayed here for four days. Was the closest RV Park to Atlantic City beach and boardwalk. I would've gave them a higher star rating but their bathrooms needed to be updated a little bit. It is very rustic, lots of shade, Park was barely occupied. Would certainly stay here again. One member of staff very helpful for checking in. - Denise M Smith

We booked this park as our first RV trip for the season. They advertised as being newly renovated from their previous owner (Blueberry Hill RV Park). When we arrived, we went into the office expecting to see a camping store (as advertised on their website). The store consisted of 4 shelves on a wall with minimal RV items, and a few freestanding snack racks with junk food. No bread, milk, or other items you would expect. I would not call this a "store". We were then lead to our site by a staff member. BTW... Their staff were very friendly (a plus for them). As we passed the pool, we noticed that is was NOT an Olympic sized pool. This again, was in contradiction to their website. Once in our site, we started looking for the "Private Gate to Wal-Mart" as advertised on their website. This gate did not exist for this campground. When we questioned it at the office, we were told that the description used is for their sister campground in Florida. I believe this is false advertising. As for their Activities... My son went to participate in their dodgeball game. No one showed up. Not even their staff came. So much for activities. I went to use their WiFi... It was not free. I would have had to pay (chose not to). Final straw was their sewer system. I did my final dump before leaving. Their system clogged up and I ended up flooding three sites next to me.

Once again... Their staff were very friendly. This is the only reason I'm giving them 3 stars rather then 1.

I would NOT visit here again. Sorry Atlantic Blueberry. You need to update your website to be more truthful. - Davetheroamer

This campground is being updated but it is still nice. The sites are level grass sites and many are pull-through with cable. The 50A sites do not have sewer but do have a gray water hookup with a water hose connection but it backed up the couple of times we tried to use it. They do have a daily pump out service if you sign up before noon. The park has a huge pool and hot tub but the hot tub was out of service. They have free Wi-Fi at the office and very fast pay Wi-Fi at the sites. The host are very nice and helpful and they have several activities going on during the weekends. We would stay here again. - dandg

My wife and I were escorted to our site by two nice gentlemen. They helped us back into site. Only problem was after setting up went to office and following one way signs I wasn't able to make a sharp right turn with just my truck. I asked about getting out at office and the manager was unhappy with the national reservations for putting us in this site because of the difficulty getting out, we wound up backing up out of the area with some assistance. Pool looked very clean and nice but too cold to use that night. Overall impression very nice and we will return. - GlennNJ

In fairness, they opened specially in early Nov for our club rally, so I can't criticize too much for the lack of services. But I was not impressed. Sites were generally small (short) for larger rigs, especially when adjacent to seasonal people. We felt like we were too close to the road. Several grassy sites were soft w/ depressions that could collect water after rains. Newly redone sandy sites had very deep loose sand - several people had a little trouble pulling in and leveling. We had to move from our first site because the water wouldn't turn on. Neighboring seasonal people dominated water and cable connections. Roads along the side were tree covered but branches hung down too low for us. The bathrooms in the main building had only 1 toilet and 2 showers each, although there was a second, maybe larger restroom building, which was closed while we were there. I wouldn't call the main building restrooms clean but not dirty either. The pool was new with a large nice patio. Its probably nice during the summer. They have 2 nice banquet rooms for parties, which we took advantage of for our large group. If you haven't been here before, drive around to check out the site size and spacing before parking, especially with rigs over 35'. Overall we probably wouldn't stay here again because the pool and communal areas didn't compensate for the conditions of the sites. - EVO_Bob

It's a pretty basic park. The pool had closed when we were there as well as the second set of restrooms, they have a very basic clubhouse and a playground. That's about it. The mini-golf area is in pretty bad shape and not much else to do there. We stayed in the back half and the sites were an average size. Electric, water & sewage all good. The one set of restrooms were kept clean. - dseipel2

We are TT Zone pass holders with the trails collection added on, giving us access to this park. Very convenient location off Garden State. FHU at site 214. Beautiful new pool and clubhouse with very nice landscaping. Friendly staff. This is the Jersey shore, carry bug spray. Mosquitos are still active late Sept. Very nice value, price reflects an estimate of our overnight costs with TT for zone pass and collections add on fee. - Todd Fogelberg

Unfortunately this campground is in decline due to the death of the husband and the poor health of the wife. Virtually no activities. The seasonals are leaving and transients are nonexistent. While the other campground, a short drive away is packed. - GlennNJ

I almost don't want to tell you how great a time we had here. This is the most quiet park we have been too. And I don't want to spoil it. The site we had was HUGE!!! Everything worked perfect for us. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The store was much better than I expected and I saw TV cable for more half the price I had to pay at our previous campground. It rained very heavy this week end and water drained off the site without a problem. We most definitely will be returning. PS if you have a noisy bunch please don't stay here. - GlennNJ

Rate reflects 2 extra kids at $5 each. Overall a nice campground. All facilities are nice, but a little on the older side. Planned activities for the kids. The store had the basics for a campground. Every time we have been here it was very quiet at night. Only negatives were the water pressure was a little low and the grass needed to be cut. (It was a holiday weekend.) This was our third time here and we definitely will be going back. - v3coinshooter

P/A discount only accepted Monday-Thursday. Above rate reflects some days with P/A some with regular rate. Management always accommodating and friendly. As another poster noted water is plentiful but high iron. Would have no problem staying here again. - phyllen

This was a last minute reservation and the owner couldn't have been nicer. The park is made up of mostly seasonal campers but it was well maintained, quiet and friendly. Our site was part sandy-part gravel and was level. The only negatives were: sites were small but since we didn't have anyone next to us on one side, it wasn't a huge issue and the water was very hard. We had a water filter but towards the end of the trip I could smell the iron on my skin. A trip to the laundry room confirmed the high mineral content in the water as the washing machines were rust colored (we ended up not using them). Other than that we had a great time there as a base camp while visiting the shore sites. The owner and the seasonal campers were really really nice. I went to the store to see if I could buy a 1/2 gallon of milk. The owner was speaking with a seasonal guest and when he apologized for not having any in stock, the seasonal guest offered to pick some up for me on her way back from an errand. Another seasonal guest helped us back into our site. It was a really nice stay and both my husband and myself said we would go back there if in the area. - DeannaS

Beautiful park with friendly staff. Gravel and Grass with level pull in and back in sites. Good hookups. Lots of trees. Close to restaurants and beaches. Many seasonal RVs that in early May looked forlorn. This is our first time camping in New Jersey and now know that seasonal camping is the norm and we were probably at this camp before the seasonal campers come in to set up for the summer. The people were friendly and we wish we could have stayed longer. - JanneC

Just off of Garden State Parkway. Dirt road access - caution - branches overhang on the right side a bit much. Scraped up my RV. Sites are easy to maneuver and sandy. Some blackwater tanks maybe a little uphill from your rig. Good distance between campers. RV sites are pull through, so exiting maybe a little tight due to sheds by permanent guests. Ample shade and they pick up your garbage daily. Would stay again. - dway66

This park is obviously aimed at family campers and has several kid oriented activities each day. The night we were here they had a "corn roast" and live entertainment in the pavilion. It is located in a sandy area and the roads are mostly just packed sand/dirt. Rain that night created some muddy walking, but with a sand base, quickly dried up. Felt more like a summer camp than an RV park, but good times for guests of all ages. - Dunwoodyradio

As others have said, the roads in are narrow and dusty, but it's New Jersey pine barrens, so no way to avoid. We were in a W/E site and the rate is a little high, but we were very close to our destination, so reasonable. We stayed for the long Labor Day weekend, and there were lots of activities all weekend long, however we did not participate due to other plans. The staff were very friendly, check in was quick. There are a lot of seasonal sites, but our loop was mostly transients, however all neighbors were friendly. A bonus is the dog park for those with canine companions.
We had great stay, and will definitely stay again. - htowners

Bass River State Forest, Tuckerton, NJ May 6, 2015 $25 plus a $5 transaction fee for being a walk in (required by Reserve America), 186 sites

This was our first time camping in a New Jersey State Forest and we really enjoyed camping here. The woman at the check in office was very nice and informative letting us drive around the two loops to pick out our site. There are two loops in this campground North and South with a beach, picnic area between them. We chose the South Loop because the lake trail was within walking distance and we could sit on the benches and enjoy the view and wildlife. There are no hookups here but there are bathhouses and water within the loops. There is a dump station and pets are allowed only in certain sites. This campground was developed by the CCC who built the roads, trails, bridle paths, ponds, towers, nature observatory, shelters, picnic areas, cabins and a 67 acre Lake Absegami. The State Forest encompasses more than 27,000 acres in the Pine Barrens. The Batona Trail a walking trail for over 50 miles goes this Forest. It is also part of the Pinelands Natural Reserve. The bathrooms are older but they do have showers. We would return here if near the area again but it was so peaceful because during the week at this time of year there were only about five sites taken. Weekends they are very busy Memorial Day through Labor Day. Enjoyable stay! - gsnakehill

I didn't have a high expectation but I was delighted to find a clean, efficient modern office with friendly staff. We camped in a perfectly level site pretty much by ourselves. Just us and the Whippoorwills. We camped in a spot near a water receptacle and I didn't have to worry about going anywhere to fill up. I was there for the Bassman Triathlon and checked out well beyond check out time with no hassle from the staff. I changed the listing above to reflect "big rig friendly". We are not a big rig but there were quite a few there. The roads, and sites were plenty big enough to accommodate the largest 5th wheel or motor home. - Mr October

This is a nice state forest campground in the Jersey woods. Quiet and well maintained. No hookups, but a dump station and potable water are available. Even though I only gave it a seven, that number is quite good for any park in NJ ( although if you were to read some of my earlier reviews, I was overly generous to some other NJ campgrounds). After spending way too much time in NJ commercial campgrounds, I would have to say that the state parks are the way to go and this one is pretty good. - monkeypants

My Parents stayed there years ago and when I got my TT I had to come back. It's a great place and will come back again. One of the owners was great; we came up to the store on Saturday and ended up getting what we needed and then just sitting with her talking for over an hour. The pool wasn't open yet but everything else was. They have their own power boat dock or just bring your kayaks. The lake is about a mile long. We went on a small hike that could have gone for miles. I would say it's a mix of seasonal or full timers but even they were great. We hung out with some of them. We stayed in spot 60 and I didn't even have to level it; when I stopped it was perfect.

Boating, Jet Skiing, Kayaking, or Hiking. Or just hanging out by the Fire Ring. It's the perfect Camp Site for a weekend get away. - ztoymaker

No words can describe this campground. Maybe unkempt, dirty, worn, scary. Way off the beaten path. Hard to get to. Rusted seasonals with broken down rigs. Broken windows on live a boards. Large equipment in parts, strewn around. Pavilion held up with wires and was leaning dangerously to one side. We toured this campground and left. I would NEVER recommend this place. - destinygal
